If yours is on constantly or won't come on there are several possibilities. There is a relay, usually inside the transmission, that controls the lock-up solenoid inside the torque converter. If the lock-up won't release, the problem is often that relay. The good part is, it's a lot less expensive than a transmission rebuild and if you can find a reputable transmission shop (that's the bad part, they're difficult to find) they will replace the faulty relay at a reasonable price. On the other hand, it can also be the torque converter, in which case the transmission has to come out and they'll need to replace the torque converter. Then you'll get the speech, "While it's out it's a good idea to..."

If it WON'T lock up when going down the road, it can be a sensor, the relay or, yes, the torque converter.
